Independence Lyrics

Patient anticipation up till' now I've been hurry upand waitin'At a bus stop in independence lickin' an ice cream coneI've been kickin' I've been schemin. This is as closeAs I've ever been to leavinFive blocks away a stone'sthrow from home.But I'm as good as gone.

(Chorus)I gotta get gone, gone, gone.Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun.Skippin like a stone, stone, stoneFar as I can run to where freedom is free.There's a road like a long grey ribbon far as I cansee.And it's pullin independence outta me.

Emancipation, paper chasin' leavin' with question marksAnd momma's blessingPut her picture in my pocket 'long with her rosarySome say I'm crazy a little locoAnd most of my friends will live and die in this zip codeIt might be for me but until I goHow am I supposed to know

Chorus)I gotta get gone, gone, gone.Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun.Skippin like a stone, stone, stoneFar as I can run to where freedom is free.There's a road like a long grey ribbon far as I cansee.And it's pullin independence outta me.I'm bustin outta independence, independence bustin'outta me(X2)

Chorus)I gotta get gone, gone, gone.Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun.Skippin like a stone, stone, stoneFar as I can run to where freedom is free.There's a road like a long grey ribbon far as I cansee.And it's pullin independence outta me.Independence
